Growing A Real Tear Jerker

Seems that an onion packer in Georgia has been charged with putting Texas and California onions into bags and labeling them as Vidalias, which bring a much higher price. The matter has ended up like most matters nowadays, in a courthouse, the packer arguing that a Vidalia onion is anything you want it to be and the state saying that it's an onion grown only in the soil of Georgia.

Certainly, it's hard to have much sympathy for the packer, but Georgia isn't free of blame either. That's a mighty broad definition of ''Vidalia onion'' to begin with.
